Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Rural communities need a free and open internet to run businesses, stay connected, and do just about darn anything. But we’ve only got three days to get one more vote in the Senate to save net neutrality, so we need all hands on deck. Light up the phones & call your Senators at (202) 224-3121

Senator Jon Tester

The Federal Communications Commission starts dismantling net neutrality regulations on April 23, 2018. That could mean when you’re watching that next episode of ‘The Crown" it could buffer endlessly or not. No one really knows yet.

We do know that access and streaming issues are already an issue for rural Americans and getting rid of net neutrality could impact them the most.
